It's humble, but we were able to film the collaboration between Sun Pillar and Diamond Dust. It was cold, but it was worth sticking. Location: Kirigamine

Early in the morning, I photographed Mt. Fuji illuminated by the sunrise. The collaboration with the foggy in the foreground was lovely. Location: Kirigamine

The full moon was shining just during the magic hour before dawn. I pressed the shutter in conjunction with the foggy ice in front of me. Location:Nagano

Snow on persimmons

I love the reflection the bridge and surrounding treeline makes on the surface of the river in this photo. Really beautiful stuff. I'd like to visit Aizu-Wakamatsu because I've heard that Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle is awesome and also the local sake in the area is supposed to be really good as well. I'm not too familiar with the area but I know Aizu-Wakamatsu is surrounded by mountains and that Mt. Bandai is over there. Maybe that's it in the background? I'm not too sure, but whatever the case may be it's a really breathtaking photo. Japan's snowscapes really are a gift that keeps on giving. Especially this year there's a ton of beautiful landscapes like this and getting to see them posted everywhere is really great. Everyone has such amazing photos it makes me want to try my hand at photography ?. Maybe someday, we'll see lol

Long day out today. Figured I'd check everyone's posts before bed and wow! I'd not heard of Mt. Yoshino, although I can see why Toyotomi Hideyoshi would have loved it. The scenery is truly beautiful here. I can't even imagine how beautiful the cherry blossoms must be if they're even more amazing than the snowy landscape in this photo. I suppose Kinpusenji Temple is the large building just to the right of the center of the photo. I'd love to give it a visit. It's Nara too, so hopefully I can see some deer during my visit. If not then I'll just have to stop by the park to watch people being chased for their crackers? Lovely place though, I'm interested in seeing what it looks like in Autumn as well. Japan never ceases to amaze me with it's colorful foliage so I can imagine Mt. Yoshino is no exception either!

In Sapporo City, Hokkaido, at the bicycle parking lot of a certain shopping mall. It is not uncommon for sleds to be a means of transportation for small children in Hokkaido, but I took a picture of two brightly colored sleds lined up in a bicycle parking lot in the middle of winter when there are no bicycles. On the way home, I can imagine small children who seem to be having fun on this sled and parents pulling their belongings home with their purchases.

We were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy the beautiful snowy scenery. It was a happy moment to be enveloped in 360 degrees and frost! !️

I was ? able to see a superb scenery that made me feel tired from the hard climbing. The blue sky and frost go perfectly together! !️

A little later than usual tonight, work had me running late today. But wow! This is so beautiful! It seems like Nagano has so much beautiful scenery. I love the different ropeways that can be found all over Japan as well. I'd love to take a ride on this Kitayatsugatake Ropeway it looks like? Gonna have to wrap up pretty good though for this lol. It's crazy that even this far south of Hokkaido there's so much snow this year. Maybe it's normal for Nagano, I'm not really sure about the weather there normally, but it makes for some lovely photography at least! I'm going to try and get out this weekend, away from the crowds and try and get some fresh air if I can. Hopefully it goes well. Been staying away from crowded areas by just staying home but if I can go on a small trip and still avoid people then it should be fine!

When I heard that it was winter in Japan, I was reminded of the snowy country of Hokkaido. #Biei in Hokkaido is famous as the blue pond. The contrast between the mysterious blue pond and the pure snow was very beautiful.

Excited by the unfamiliar snowy scenery I forgot about the cold and clicked the shutter crazy

This is a view of Ginzan Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture. The post was also completely covered in snow.

Lake Shoji is the most visited of the Fuji Five Lakes. It is a very quiet and pleasant place.

There is always a wood-burning stove in the lobby. It is a place of relaxation for everyone.

Photographed from the ropeway of Kita Yatsugatake. It was sunny that day, so we took the ropeway. However, when I reached the summit, it was cloudy、、。 I can't read the weather in the mountains. The summit was very cold at -12°C.

It is Tatsusawa Fudo Falls in Fukushima Prefecture. It is famous for its spots where you can take pictures of autumn leaves and waterfalls in autumn, but the snow and waterfall in winter were also beautiful.

Wow this is awesome! Looks like a lot of fun. Japan has a lot of great ski resorts and with winter being pretty harsh this year I bet there's tons of fresh powder on top of the mountains. I've never went mountain climbing like this either. I've went hiking of course but not in snow like in these pictures. I'm more of a camper I suppose though lol. I like the different snowmen in these pictures too, it's pretty cool to see them as, like I've said before, there's not much snow in Tokyo. It's pretty cool they built a small house out of snow lol. It reminds me of the ice chapel in Hokkaido. Hopefully once it's easier to get outside I can go visit a resort like this even just to do some sledding or w/e. Start to lack exercise with being indoors all day everyday ?

This photo was taken on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture. It had snowed the day before, and it was quite cold in the early morning of this day. Therefore, the air was clear and Mt. Fuji looked very beautiful.

Located in the Kuju Mountains of Oita Prefecture When the trees get a big cold snap, Bloom (^^) snow flowers Fantastic like cherry blossoms A moment to forget the fatigue of mountain climbing Have become! location,Kokonoe, Oita,Makinoto Pass camera,SONY a7r4 lens,FE24-70mm F2.8GM

This is a photo of a snowy day in "Naramachi" in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. Nara City does not have much snow, and it has snowed for the first time in several years, and the cityscape that I have loved from the beginning has become even more attractive due to the snowy scenery.

The old townscape of Hida Takayama is visited every year. It is a sight that can be seen at dusk. Last year was a difficult year due to many things, but we were able to see a wonderful snowy landscape at the last minute.

Sunrise in Biei The weather forecast was bad, so I was prepared for it, but I could see a little sunny, so I used a slow shutter.

Tsuruga Castle in Fukushima! I'd heard of its white walls before, but it looks like winter is doing its best to make it completely white! Apparently Tsuruga Castle was designed after Kurokawa Castle that was sieged some time during the 1,500's. I wonder if the color scheme is true to Kurokawa Castle. It'd be interesting to know if there was some sort of tactical reason for an all-white castle. In a snowy region I could see it acting as a sort of camouflage but who knows. You can also barely see what looks like a shachihoko on the roof if you zoom in which is pretty neat. Apparently the inside of the castle has some mannequins set up with guns showing how the arrow-slits, or in this case gun-slits, would have been used. There's also other mannequins that show them being used for rock dropping as well. Warfare has come a long way since then?

Really been loving the snowscapes on here recently. Never got the chance to visit Nyuto Onsen when I was in Akita but I had some friends who went and they all said it was amazing. I can imagine how nice some warm hot springs would be in the middle of a heavy winter like this too lol. Planning on visiting Akita when I get the chance again (probably going to be a while) so I'll have to stop by for a dip if I get the chance. The thing I really loved about Akita was seeing all of the natural landscapes. All the rice paddies and natural greenery was really something else. I remember when I went to Kakunodate and saw the samurai houses there was a small mountain with some castle ruins on top and it had a really good view of the area from the top. It was also spring when I went so I got to see the cherry blossoms on the river bank which were incredible too... overall great place

It was the first sunrise of 2021 when I went to see it on a hill near my home. This is going to be a good year.
